Jesus Christ in truth a Hindu deity from the Vedas? Transfiguration of history, you say! Fact, I say! You already hold the proof in your hands with this book. In this book, you will find 41 verses from the oldest spiritual writing - the Indian Rigveda - in a newly translated and commented version. Contained in all these verses unnoticed for millennia - the holy name of God from the Bible. יהוה What Christ and Krishna have in common and what makes them different, you will also learn in this compact compendium in a comparison of the Bhagavad Gita - the so-called Hindu Bible - and the teachings of Jesus from the New Testament. The British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak with the Gita under his arm believes he is close to enlightenment and the German Labor Minister Hubertus Heil is fishing for skilled workers in India with a new migration agreement as the ace up his sleeve. Meanwhile Oppenheimer in the cinema is notorious for quoting from the Indian scriptures and offering explosive fuel for a scandal on the subcontinent. As you can see, these are truly moving times in Europe and around the world. This book is an attempt at cultural rapprochement and reconciliation. Between us Europeans, the former colonialists and the former colonies. "न चक्षुः न दृष्टं न चक्षुः श्रुतं हस्तं न स्पृष्टं न मनुष्यः कल्पितं तत् ते दास्यामि।" - יֵשׁוּעַ
Religion is one of the oldest human activities and even in the present day pervades almost every aspect of life, but with so many seemingly incomprehensible beliefs, laws, rituals, and terminologies, you can't tell the players without a program. The Joy of Sects overcomes this confusion by presenting a rich trove of information in a concise, browsable format. It is a guidebook to the world's religious traditions not only for the devout follower but also for the interested outsider, for the curious unbeliever, and for anyone who ever wondered about the difference between karma and dharma, yin and yang, Talmud and Torah, the astral plane and the akashic record, Pharisees and Sadducees, Sunnis and Shiites. Here you will find detailed narrative histories of the six great religious traditions of East and West -- Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam -- along with information about related traditions, including Sikhism, Confucianism, Gnosticism, Zoroastrianism, and the various elements that compose the New Age. Each chapter contains brief sections on the scriptures, places of worship, and terminologies, as well as the numerous denominations, orders, and schools that make up the great millefleur tapestry of world religion.
Although the Great Anti-Cult Crusade links new religious movements to dangerous cults, brainwashing, and the need for deprogramming, Karla Poewe and Irving Hexham argue that many cults are the product of a dynamic interaction between folk religions and the teachings of traditional world religions. Drawing on examples from Africa, the United States, Asia, and Europe, they suggest that few new religions are really new. Most draw on rich, if localized, cultural traditions that are shaped anew by the influence of technological change and international linkages. With the widespread loss of belief in biblical mythology in the nineteenth century, new mythologies based on science and elements derived from various non-Western religious traditions emerged, leading to the growth and popularity of new religions and cults.
